A bare-metal server is a whole physical machine: nobody else runs on it, and you get full root access to all of its processor, memory and disks.
Sizes and prices
| Size | Processor | Cores | Memory | Disks | Price |
|---|
| Bare Metal 6 | Intel Xeon E-2286G | 6 | 32 GB | 2 x 960 GB SSD | from $249 a month |
| Bare Metal 6 AMD | AMD EPYC 4245P | 6 | 32 GB | 2 x 960 GB NVMe | from $399 a month |
| Bare Metal 24 | AMD EPYC 9254 | 24 | 384 GB | 2 x 480 GB SSD | from $1,099 a month |
Prices are shown in your own currency when you order. You can pay monthly, or by the hour from your balance (a month never costs more than the monthly price).
Where
In cities across North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. The order screen shows only the locations that can build the size you chose right now.
Ordering one
- Open Servers and choose New server.
- Choose Bare metal, then the size and the location.
- Choose the operating system and your SSH key, then order.
A physical machine takes longer to set up than a cloud server: a few minutes, and up to 30 minutes at busy times. The server's page shows when it is ready.
Managing it
From the server's page you can start, stop and restart it, reinstall the operating system, see its graphs and delete it. A bare-metal server cannot be resized, and has no snapshots: keep your own backups. To move to a bigger machine, order the new size and move your data across.
What it cannot be paid with
The $10 trial credit cannot pay for bare metal. DDoS protection is not offered on bare metal yet.
